COMMENTARY:
COMING TO YOU DIRCTLY FROM THE AREI SYMPOSIUM Well,
it has been almost a year in the planning, and has taken
thousands of hours to put it together, but at last it's
happening. As this report goes out, Wendy and I are
in Scottsdale, Arizona, preparing for the opening of
the Afterlife
Research and Education Symposium 2018. Naturally
we are jet-lagged after our long flights from Sydney,
but we are doing our best to adjust to the new time
zones.
Today, (Thursday USA time), has been devoted to workshops
as well as time for networking and catching up with
friends. Scott Milligan has completed a one day workshop,
David Thompson has done two short workshops on how to
sit for physical mediumship, Rosemary Ellen Guiley has
done a workshop on a how to communicate with the afterlife
using a back mirror and Dr. Ann Clark is doing a workshop
on Soul Wisdom from great loss. And now Susanne Wilson
is doing a stunning demonstration of connecting with
the spirit world.
It's not too late for those of you in other parts of
the world to join us. You can watch 8 presentations,
live or at a time to suit you by video, through our
partnership with Streaming for the Soul.

TEN TIPS TO DEVELOP YOUR PSYCHIC
ABILITIES “We all
have dormant psychic abilities waiting to be exercised,”
says Phoenix AZ. based Psychic Medium, Jamie Clark.
Psychic abilities
and intuition become astute with exercise and use, just
like any other muscle or organ in our bodies. However,
training is a key to success in that the more you work
with your natural talents, the more effective you become
in quieting your mind and sustaining a comfortable,
and most importantly, relaxed state of mind and body
that facilitates concentration on the subject or question
at hand. Psychic abilities are no less a skill to be
honed than any other skill or talent that we have to
train for. Adopt at least four of these ten exercises
- they're easy to integrate into your weekly routine,
and you will be on your way." Read

JOSEPH HIGGINS - A MEDIUM HELPING
SOLDIERS TO GET HELP FROM THE OTHER SIDE One
of our good friends here at the Symposium is Joseph
Higgins, author of a
number of books on signs from spirit. In this interview
he talks about his work with war veterans.
ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS
MAGICIANS ACCEPTED MEDIUMSHIP Skeptics
often claim mediums are employing the same tricks that
magicians and illusionists use, so it's always interesting
to find magicians who investigate and acknowledge that
true mediumship is beyond them. From 1905 to 1935 Howard
Thurston was the most famous
magician in the USA, more famous even than his contemporary
Harry Houdini. Initially he was an anti - Spiritualist
campaigner who issued open challenges to mediums, offering
ten thousand dollars for the production of any stunt
he could not reproduce by trickery (sound familiar?).
However after investigating mediumship he changed his
mind and became a member of the American Society for
Psychical Research. Read the

DR. MICHAEL NEWTON ON LIFE BETWEEN
LIVES A previously unpublished
interview with Dr. Michael Newton describing what to
expect in a Life Between Lives Regression session. Rich
Martini (Flipside:
A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife)
interviews Dr Newton. Dr. Ann
Clark, head of research at the Michael Newton Institute,
will be speaking and offering a workshop at the symposium.
CONTINUOUS SPIRITUAL GROWTH
IN THE AFTERLIFE DIMENSION EXPLAINED:
"You do not climb from one sphere
into another; you grow, you
evolve. The lower gives way to the higher. You 'die'
and are born again and again. You do not lose the astral
body in quite the same way that you lose the material
body. It becomes more rarified, it becomes refined,
as the lower drops away. That is in death, for death
really means transformation, resurrection, the rising
of the higher out of the lower.(Silver Birch Anthology,
'60ed.,p58).
ROSEMARY ELLEN GUILEY BLACK MIRROR
SCRYING TO CONNECT WITH THE AFTERLIFE
A leading expert in the metaphysical
and paranormal fields, Rosemary Ellen Guiley has written
and published with more
than 65 books on a wide range topics, including
nine single-volume encyclopedias and reference works.
LAWYER IDENTIFIES JUDGE'S VOICE: Aubrey
Rose (eminent lawyer, OBE & CBE) attended many sittings
with medium Leslie Flint and claims that through Flint
he received "the most detailed evidence of survival
of the individual beyond this life". In his autobiography,The Rainbow Never Ends, he states
that his investigation into the afterlife began when
he heard a tape recording of a voice he recognized as
that of deceased Judge, Lord Birkett, speaking through
Leslie Flint. Rose became a close friend of Leslie Flint
and went on to become a spiritual healer himself.
MEDIUM GORDON SMITH - WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE
TO DIE?
SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL
FOR PET LOVERS
Highly credible information from the other side tells
us that yes, loved pets do survive. The evidence? In this
session a few years ago, materialization medium David
Thompson had a dog materialize. For a very brief moment
it was reunited with its owner. All sitters heard the
enthusiastic bark of the dog who went and put its feet
on the knee of its owner!! Hear for yourself her reaction
to this sensational materialization.
(Listen...
)
CAN A MEDIUM CONTACT THE SPIRIT
OF THE LIVING? Tony Stockwell
explains to other mediums that he has had contacts with
people who are in a coma, have alzheimer's, are in the
process of passing, or are ill.
WARNING! DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN A 'CULT' We
have seen on television many people complaining
that they became prisoners of religious 'cult' leaders.
A 'cult' is a small group of people who dominate and
control the minds of those naive enough to join up.
You know you are in a cult if pressure is put on to
you not to read anything outside the 'official' teachings.
Other signs include preventing you from contacting people
outside the cult and making it difficult to leave. Sometimes
humiliation and violence and other tough measures are
used to keep members obedient. BE CAREFUL WHICH GROUPS
YOU JOIN - and if you sense you do not have to freedom
to come and go as you please, ask for help to get as
soon as possible.

A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER OF HEALING
Thanks to the medium
Renee Richards who shared this prayer that she uses
when praying for someone to help them heal either emotionally
or physically.
"Child
of Light, I bless you!
I think of you, I pray for you.
Not in terms of what I think you need or what I think
you should do or be or express.
I lift up my thoughts about you.
I catch a new vision of you.
I see you guided and directed by an inward Spirit that
leads you unerringly into the path that is right for
you.
I see you strong and whole.
I see you blessed and prospered.
I see you courageous and confident.
I see you capable and successful.
I see you free from limitation or bondage of any kind.
I see you as the spiritually perfect being you truly
are.
Child of Light, I bless you!"
CHAD HOUSER: CAFE MOMENTUM Chad Houser's nonprofit restaurant

detention.
1) Thank you. I had an NDE and it always brings
back feelings when I read about it or see a video. I
met Pim van Lommel. He is a very gentle man; he signed
a copy of his book for me after a gathering with about
100 people who had an nde. Kor 2) Thanks again Victor and Wendy
for the wonderful Afterlife Report! Wishing you both
a great time at the conference. Louisa
3) Thank you once again for
a very interesting Afterlife Report. You consistently
come up with such good work!! Bless you! Love
the different topics, (yet relevant) you include, including
the meditation as well as the beautiful music/song.
